Sahih al-Bukhari 7205
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا بَايَعَ النَّاسُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي أُقِرُّ بِالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، عَلَى سُنَّةِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ، فِيمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، وَإِنَّ بَنِيَّ قَدْ أَقَرُّوا بِذَلِكَ.
ʿAbd Allāh ibn Dīnār said: When the people pledged allegiance to ʿAbd al-Malik, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar wrote to him: “To ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, Commander of the Faithful: I acknowledge listening and obedience to ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Malik, Commander of the Faithful, according to the practice of God and the practice of His Messenger, as much as I am able. My sons have made the same acknowledgment.”
Translation notes
This version preserves the letter’s salutation and repeats ʿAbd al-Malik’s full name in the acknowledgment, then states that Ibn ʿUmar’s sons made the same pledge.
